Enjoy panoramic mountain views and stunning gorge landscapes, taking in the tranquil atmosphere of this serene location.

Alternatively, a shorter and easier hike of 6 km (2 hrs) can be chosen. From June to September only the shorter hike is possible. The thermal springs of Montanejos maintain a temperature of 25 °C/77 °F. Take a dip and swim in the crystal blue water.
